I have no worries per se, as I'm a 99er but I also am a HS and College graduate with vocational training as well. But I think that its going too far. But on a side not, it may be a positive thing to get people off their duffs to go get their GEDs, those who didn't graduate.

Seems like a slippery slope to me. If we want to make rules for the good of UC recipients, why stop at drug tests and GED requirements? They shouldn't smoke either. How about making obese recipients lose weight?

I thought that Republicans didn't like "the nanny state"...I just can't keep up them.

Anyway, weren't these provisions just poision pills that the House Republicans tried to get in before they backed down last week--are these still alive?
